Documentaries are good if you learn a little extra strategy. I think these things should be done more often but i do not think the professionals players of poker they will want this because they show only a few secrets. Not too many to have no fierce competition. Anyway this documentary is a good thing.

A documentary based on a poker player's lif must be boring.I believe you can say anything about a poker player in less than half an hour, in a so called documentary. If you expand though on their style, strategy, etc, can take a bit longer.

well I guess like mober says a video documentary about poker players life and play style etc can be quite boring, but we have the case here of one of the most colorful people in poker world and in this scenario I doubt this documentary can be called boring
Very-very-very hard to watch anything if its narrated by somebody with a speech impediment - especially if he/she is not a native english speaker. Just my two cents. Also anything on Isildur is just five years too late in the making.

I'm gonna take the time to watch this tonight. It will be very interesting to see how it all took off for him. I always find it interesting to see how the early stages of a career looked like before there was some serious money being involved.
It's even more interesting about Viktor for me since I've met him a few times at some parties when we were younger (he's only 1 year older then me) and back then he was a kinda laid back type of guy, no real interest in taking things too seriously. At least that's the impression I got of him. People who knew him better might have something to say about that tho, I really couldn't say.
hmmm .... maybe it would be interesting to watch this movie .... but I do not understand English well and that's why I'm not moymu in this film .... probably it is worth waiting a little and if the movie is really interesting then somebody will translate it into Russian language

It is interesting how a player comes out of nowhere and begins to create a worldwide reputation, earning millions of dollars in a short time and the levels in which he plays, until he wins and loses millions of one night, that is an incredible level good for Insildur1

Isildur1 is a very good professional player and a remarkable player, but in period when he played in full tilt poker and had extraordinary results, he had a big disadvantage. His youth made him lose millions of dollars as fast as he wins or even faster. Now it's more ambitious to win without losing millions like in the past.
